Many of the older musicians in the top symphonies entered the orchestra at a time when auditions were not as stringent as they are today. Many of those were merely invited to play by the conductor or they had only an informal hearing without any real competition. I'm not saying they can't play, but their reputations carried them in the orchestra. I doubt this would go over well today.
