CK - if I may cool this down a little? I suggest your best option, in view of apparent non-standarisation in your training department (by no means a surprise) is to make a formal request for clarification of correct procedure to your CTC (as you propose) as long, of course, that this does not produce an adverse reaction! I think you are correct and wise in trying to clarify this apparent conflict of advice - you never know which side of the camp your next TRE is sitting in, after all
Incidentally, while you should get a reduction in pitch attitude I don't see the kit changing bank angle for you.
