Oh I'm sure Ted was only marginally profitable at best. A flight would have the same fixed costs as a traditionally laid out plane with fewer paying seats. Since the cost of the seats wasn't much higher than other airlines' economy class, there weren't many avenues for Ted to make a profit. I am just lamenting the loss of an airline where I, being taller than the average human economy seating is optimized for, was actually comfortable for the whole flight. The only times I've been comfortable on a plane have been in exit rows or the small number of times I've splurged and flown first class.
