The impact of a strike on your United Feeder Service compensation
Be wary by United Feeder Service's evasive wording: a "wildcat" or planned strike remains the managerial responsibility of the airline. On this short-haul, the internal/external strike distinction is the same.
Key distinction: if the delay is caused by ground services, United Feeder Service is released from paying the 250€ indemnity, but not its care obligation.
What are your rights at Geneva airport in case of prolonged wait?
Avoid buying your meals without requesting vouchers from United Feeder Service. If you do pay, keep your receipts carefully.

How long does it take to get the 250 € compensation?
The paradox: the longer United Feeder Service delays paying your 250€, the more the final bill risks growing in penalties. Lawyers exploit this fact to force the airline's hand.
By entrusting the recovery of your 250€ to a trusted partner, you spare yourself months of waiting and the stress of seeing your case ignored, as chasing are handled by legal experts.
What to do faced with silence or refusal from the airline?
Don't take at face value United Feeder Service's email claiming that Geneva's airport was blocked by snow without consulting certified METAR data.
As a last resort, it is court action that often unlocks payment. United Feeder Service will almost always choose to pay the 250€ rather than face lawyer fees for a case doomed to fail in court.
