Good ole metering to MSP. Had to slow down all my arrivals this morning for metering

As a center controller, and traffic dependant, I'll let you just about whatever you feel like if you're not in anyone else's way.

Once you get to 100% of your hours they have to give you a check ride. It's not uncommon that someone gets no recommendations from their trainers but will still get certified at their 100% check ride. If his training stopped before then I'd say there's definitely more to the story
