We have a few east coast commuters. They typically bid for long work blocks and are away from home for a couple weeks at a time. If you have a significant other they won't be happy with you. It's a long transcontinental flight after all and can be full most of the time. However, it is doable if you have your life all set up in NYC. I don't see us having a strong presence on the east coast for the foreseeable future.
