Narrative:
Air carrier X reduced speed to 270 KTS without advising center. We were 5 mi in trail to atl and I had an aircraft behind him doing 320 KTS. I nearly had an operational error. Air carrier X has been trying to self flow themselves into atlanta without advising ATC. Air carrier X doesn't consider other carriers when they do this and it's becoming dangerous. The FAA knows and also won't do anything.
