Narrative:

I was working sector R78; when I accepted a hand off from sector 33 on aircraft X on the leese arrival descending to FL250. Shortly after I received additional handoffs on aircraft Y and aircraft Z on the piglt arrival descending to FL270 and assigned 300 knots resulting in an over 100 knot overtake on aircraft X. Stated in the SOP between 78 & 33 all F11 (mco/ism/orl) landing aircraft will be in trail. I then called sector 33 on the land line to request control of aircraft Y & aircraft Z so that I could get the spacing needed. During the exchange I told the R33 controller; 'so you know; I have to have the leese & piglt aircraft in trail'. The R33 controller's response was 'I don't care.' while still on the line; I noticed aircraft X descending through his assigned altitude of FL250; and I asked what altitude aircraft X was descending to. The controller's response was 'I don't know'. At this time conflict alert began with another aircraft below my airspace stratum and aircraft X. After hanging up the line; because the R33 controller did not express any concern for what I needed to do my part with the F11 spacing; I began the waiting process to have the aircraft come on my frequency. I then had to call R33 again and request communication of aircraft X after the aircraft had already been in my airspace for over 10 nautical miles.this is another example of complacency and laziness portrayed by a group of controllers at ZJX. It is becoming a safety concern for the flying public and the controllers working with or around these controllers. When asked about situations associated with 7110.65 and SOP/LOA; these controllers say they 'don't care' or become upset with those controllers whom request basic coordination be followed. I would recommend desertification or re-training of individuals that continue to show ineptitude in the safe and expeditious control of air traffic.

Title: A ZJX Controller reports of an airborne conflict and an aircraft altitude deviation; in which he questions another ZJX Controller about the altitude the aircraft is descending to. The other Controller states he doesn't know. The reporter is also reporting the complacency and laziness of another group of ZJX controllers.
