right now she drives 2 and half hours to work each way to work anyway... (bad DC area traffice... 2.5 hours to drive the 27 miles each morning)
Are there other people doing this?
What do you mean by "lets". Are the company expecting her to do it or is it them being flexible so that she and family don't have to move to NYC in order to attract a good
empoyee?
Did she exress a view to them during the interview about this?
Unless she lives and works very close to the respective airports then she will still have a very long commtute. A log commute is still a ling commute even if someone else is doing the driving.
I suggest she looks at some of the other options already suggested and e.g. fly up Monday and back Thursday and stay in a hotel and works from home on Fridays (or works from home on Monday and goes to NTC on Tuesday and flies back on Friday.
