You are correct.  According to Air Methods last published corporate presentation, EBITDA margin for their tourism segment was about 19 percent.  For the HAA segment, it was 33%.  So, as an HAA pilot, you contribute more to profitablity than pilots in other segments.  That's economics.  By the way, an argument can be made that Michael Jordan was underpaid- though he made millions- in terms of his contribution to net marginal revenue.  Share this with your HR minion next time you are looking for a raise.  I'm sure they will be glad to hear it.
