I hope this does not become a thing at DL.
So let me get this straight.
FA's are now keeping track of which 14,000+ pilots aren't participating in this alleged "SeatBelt Gate." (Of which I have never had any FA suggest to me this scenario in nearly 20 years in the industry, BTW.)
Additionally these pilots, commanding large jets safely through multiple theatres throughout the world, all but crumble under the immense pressure of dealing with a vengeful FA. This FA is now charging them for their crew meals; the same crew meals of which are contractually required, provided free of charge, and catered on nearly every leg.
Honestly, no offense intended. But does that even remotely seem realistic?
