Hi all, >From the administrators viewpoint, I can tell you that sometimes, that is sometimes, there is a financial reason for not filling a vacant chair. If the conductor has full control of selection - with advice from a committee of players, he/she may suggest that none has reached the standard because he/she knows that the substitutes are good enough, but the season is underfunded. Rather than cut back on the programming, it may be better to wait another year. Of course this doesn't explain everything. Another thought is that all the players like sub #x and they are happy not to replace him/her unless there is someone substantially better.
