 Musical chairs in orchestras

The thread about the openings at the New York Philharmonic makes me wonder. . . . Once an orchestra hires a musician to fill an open position, does the conductor ever shuffle the section? It's common for students to get shuffled around via seat-jumps, but what happens among adult professional musicians?

Let's say Dizzy Dryreed gets hired as first clarinet. Then a vacancy opens up at second clarinet. The orchestra hires Candy Corkgrease for second, but then the conductor discovers Dizzy's half-faking his way through "The Sorcerer's Apprentice" while Candy can play all the notes, up to speed. (Yeah, I know. As if.) Does s/he demote Dizzy and promote Candy? Do their contracts *allow* the conductor to shuffle them?
