Hopefully this skill has been carried over to ANS controllers.
Skill? I would argue this is quite the opposite. The only way this would be skilful (and I use the term very loosely) is if the two ahead are helicopters or light GA. I control at a busy London airport and I can tell you now this type of controlling is neither encouraged nor trained.
As for ANS....... watch this summer I think.
