The whole story sounds bogus to me! US major symphonies do not offer tenure-track appointments, even to distinguished players like Neidich. One year interim hirings might be the case occasionally, but contractually most orchestras, including--I'm sure--the Philharmonic, are bound to have more-or-less open auditions.
Case in point: when the Met Opera had to fill Morales' vacancy on short notice they appointed John Manasse to a one-year position, pending auditions. Manasse played brilliantly that year, but due to illness (pneumonia!) he was not up to par for the audition, and, sadly, was not engaged for the tenure-track position.
