Narrative:

Aircraft X checked in descending via klynk one with the ATIS. Klynk one requires aircraft X to cross bonzz at 12;000 ft at 260kts. Aircraft X crossed bonzz at 17;000 ft and very fast. I had to reduce speed; vector and point out the aircraft to multiple positions to allow time to descend. He did not remember his previous clearance after I assigned headings and altitudes and asked him for his previous clearance. I gave a brasher notification and was told the pilot called and thought he was on the bonzz one arrival; which is a south flow procedure. He was assigned runway 3R on initial contact. Can a pilot program a north flow runway on a south flow arrival procedure? This seems like a safety issue as our north and south flow stars have similar names and similar fixes. With the ATIS advertising runway 3R and 4L; I think a pilot should not be able to program runway 3R or 4L on a south flow only STAR. The notes on the stars say which runway to expect when assigned the STAR. I had this pilot make a mistake today and another pilot yesterday say he couldn't accept the STAR without knowing what runway transition he was supposed to use; so maybe we need to highlight that note or provide additional training to flight crews to review notes more carefully.
