Perhaps it depends on the particular orchestra's collective bargaining agreement but in some (if not all orchestras) you can appoint the next guy down the row. One sees it often. Since I have been in Montreal I have seen examples of it both in my orchestra (the principal trumpet retired and they offered the position to the 2nd trumpet) and the Montreal Symphony (a principal brass left and they offered the position to the 2nd player and a principal wind died and the offered his position to the assistant principal). Both orchestras are AFM-kosher.
