According to an article by Douglas Yeo (the Bass Trombonist with the Boston Symphony Orchestra:
"...The base scale pay for members of the top American orchestras (Boston, Chicago, Cleveland, New York, Philadelphia) is approximately $2000+/week (minimum guaranteed scale). These orchestras typically offer 10 weeks paid vacation, full medical and dental coverage, generous sick leave, a pension (after 30 years service or the "rule of 85" which provides a full pension to players whose age and years of service combined equal 85) of over $70,000/year, and many other excellent benefits. After passing an initial probationary period (of one to three years depending on the orchestra's policy), tenured members enjoy job protection and security as members of the American Federation of Musicians. Dismissal can only be made for cause which must be proven to an arbitration panel, often made up of peer members of the orchestra...Many orchestras make either audio or television recordings. Current AFM scale for a three hour recording session (symphonic scale) is approximately $350.00 not including yearly residual royalty payments made to the individual musicians."

In what clef is tuba music written?
Bass clef generally. The Tuba is considered to be a non-transposing instrument, so a BBb, CC, EEb or F tuba will read from the same music and it is up to the player to know the correct fingerings. Sometimes (especially in Jazz charts) the parts are written an octave above the actual sounded note, the same as music for a Contrabass Violin (String Bass) or Bass Guitar. For what is called "British Brass Band Music" the Tuba part is usually transposed into the Treble Clef, so the part for a BBb tuba will look different than a part for an EEb tuba.

Why do you think there needs to be more viola and cello players than tuba players in an orchestra?
Uhmmm... Because celli and violas don't make as much sound as tubas, and you can have only one tuba in the whole orchestra, and have it overpower all of the other instruments, but when you only have one cello, it's hard to hear them~same with the violas.
