Not underatanding why everyone here seems to care so much about how the other guy does business. As for me, personally, if I'm not fatigued, I'll drop the med "crew" off, extend past hour 14, and get the helicopter back to base. That said, if you interpret the rule to mean that's prohibited, then by all means, DON'T extend. In my case, being able to reposition often affords me the flexibility to still make it back to base and head home for my off-period (assuming, again, that I'm not doing it while fatigued). Works out well for the company too, as the oncoming pilot can go pick up the med types. Seems like a win-win.
