No, it shouldn't.
One should not base how professional they act, dress, or perform their job duties based on their gross pay. If one DOES try to justify their actions (or lack thereof) by referring to their salary, that in itself reflects unprofessional behavior.
After all, its not like the compensation for flying an RJ was or is a mystery...
