The attached salary scales incorporated into the plaintiffs' Conditions of Service constituted binding contractual terms entitling flight attendants to automatic advancement by one grade annually until the ceiling grade; amounts attributable to grades on the operative 1998 combined salary scale could not be unilaterally reduced by Cathay except by agreement; accordingly the plaintiffs succeed and Cathay's counterclaims are dismissed; representative relief is confined to construction questions and does not extend to estoppel or breach claims for non-named crew without individual proof.
