I wrote in my other post to you that you should go down to a level 5 or even 4. It probably wouldn't have a noticeable impact on training -- the difference between trainer levels is only apparent after several seasons of training.
Trainers and other staff members don't all go up 2% per week. There's a progression by which higher-level staff member's salaries increase at a faster rate. Currently the rate of increase is estimated at 2% only for level 5 trainers:
Level 1 -- rises 1% per week
Level 2 -- rises 1.25% per week
Level 3 -- rises 1.5% per week
Level 4 -- rises 1.75% per week
Level 5 -- rises 2% per week
Level 6 -- rises 2.25% per week
Level 7 -- rises 2.5% per week
