Its not really my business to reply to this -but pulling the stick back will change the wing angle of attack and also your view, as well as tilting the rotor thrust line.

Tilting the rotors back will not change the view and the wing aerodynamics will be less affected (some change inevitable due to them being in the downwash)

Being able to violently control forward speed without changing view can be a real godsend at times. Some times ones view is only just including the nearby osstacles and yanking the nose up then (in a chopper, tiltrotor or Harrier) can really add to the problem...

I hope you get the job
