Maybe something will happen this time around. This is from the Boston Globe:

He (Levine) promised when he was hired that 'there was no point to doing things a certain way simply because that is the way they have been done before.'" Writes Edgers, "Take the way Levine and the BSO will hire musicians before he takes over in September 2004. A committee of players will have the authority to select new hires. Levine doesn't even have to be at the auditions." Mark Volpe, the BSO's managing director, called the arrangement, "a question of trust and empowerment," and flutist Fenwick Smith, chairman of the players committee, "considers the arrangement a sign of Levine's respect for the orchestra."
