TMU is both good and bad. On weather days, they can be saviors with the reroutes and restrictions. On normal days with their miles in trail restrictions, sometimes we wonder what they are thinking. They put a restriction of 30 MIT for traffic landing Newark. Then the adjacent center will have a perfect line of EWR traffic 30 in trail, and what does TMU do? Launch a departure from an airport right in the center of it, and expect us to vector and slow the ENTIRE LINE, delaying 4 or 5 aircraft even more, so that ONE departure could be launched and put in the line. If TMU would have waited 15 minutes to give that aircraft its release, that line would have passed and the departure would have fallen in the last spot naturally. But nope, launch them all and the controllers will put them in trail....TMU strategy.

But like I said, weather days they can save the controllers and they really earn their money.
