The attached salary scales in the COS constituted binding contractual terms giving flight attendants an entitlement to advance one grade annually until the scale ceiling; Cathay cannot unilaterally reduce the monetary amount attributable to an agreed grade except by clear contractual words or consent; plaintiffs succeed on construction (and, had construction failed, estoppel by convention would have prevented resiling).
