Definitely look for another job in Glendale. I know that BofA has a major banking center in Glendale.
As for other options, I thought MM had some good suggestions. I thought that taking a train from Glendale or Burbank into Union Station, then Red Line to 7th, Blue line to the Green Line Transfer station, then the Green Line to the airport area might do it as well.

That is just a crazy commute, especially in that car.
I would suggest she either move, or even better, change jobs. They have banks in B/G, too.
Short of that, check out MTA.net for bus/metrolink. There's also a flyway bus, either from Van Nuys or Union Station.
