135.267(c) applies to "regularly scheduled crews" which means the pilot comes to work and leaves at the same time each day during their shift. Triponey specifically addresses HEMS pilots who are scheduled to work regularly assigned duty periods and also specifically states that the 14-hour duty period cannot be exceeded under any circumstances. There are other Legal Interpretations from the FAA that address the limitations of the 14-hour duty limitation for pilots who work regularly assigned duty periods, such as AMC.
