Interesting point about the American Federation of Musicians....
Ricardo Morales is very talented, but all of those jobs that he won--he didn't have to go through the first round again, and he may not have won Philly, New York Phil and Chicago if he had had to battle his way through the first round again. In fact, I know that the first time he auditioned for Philly, the committee there said “no” to him. He had been pre-advanced to the finals based on his position at the met. As another user posted above and as I’ve seen from experience too, in other countries where the "pre-advancing" thing doesn't happen, famous players go to auditions all the time and get swatted out like flies in the first round. In the end, I suppose all of that is a testament to the miracle of winning an orchestral audition.
I think that one possible reason why auditions result sometime with no winner in the USA is also because of the "pre-advancing" factor. When people are pre-advanced, certain members of the committee will absolutely go in with an agenda and will vote in a way to try to make sure that their best friend, student, lover, favorite player, etc., has a better chance to make it through. When some jury members are voting like this and others are being fair, it increases the likelihood of strange results. Also, if jury members who are being fair become aware of another jury member trying to push through someone with a connection, the whole thing can get silly and fall apart.
Sadly, I was a judge once at an orchestral blind audition, where another committee member whispered to me “this is my student playing now, please vote for her.” So unfortunately, people do try to cheat the system sometimes. However, in the case of the audition where I witnessed that, this cheating committee member was unsuccessful in his attempt to push his student through and was punished by the orchestra afterwards.
