Ed -

I know the player you mention. He and I were good friends when we were in the West Point Band. He's a world-class player, who's very aware of his gifts, and this led him to do thoughtless things, culminating in the wine scandal. He has brought himself under control and now has another principal/college position, though he will probably never get the top job his talents deserve.

Anything less than equivalent misbehavior will probably not result in firing. If you belong to the IDRS, you can read a multi-part series on the career of the great Philadelphia English Horn player John Minsker, including the time when Eugene Ormandy did his very best to force him out, but could not.
