I just realized you’re not a pilot. If they had the ability to get the nose up and trade airspeed for altitude they certainly would have done so. In fact if they had that ability they would have simply climbed out at 250 and never got fast. Your all hung up on thrust causing pitch changes because you read news articles by reporters with zero knowledge. Thrust changes are a non issue at normal speeds! If you have a trim runaway you need to slow down to reduce the effectiveness of the stab and reduce control column loads. L/D max or probably about 215 knots would have been my target airspeed with trim issues.
