Yes, jets are flown the way aeroplanes are supposed to be flown, using the primary effects of controls to achieve the aim. Elevators for flightpath and go-levers for speed control. Tiddlers can get away with doing the opposite, but all you do in a jet is hit the ground faster if you're low and put on the power (737 underslung engine pitch-up not withstanding!
)
"Always remember and forever take heed, left hand for glidepath and right hand for speed!" Reverse that for effos.
All this, of course, is for during the approach phase. When said jet is zipping through the air on Scotty's descent, increasing power will make the nose raise eventually when in basic modes.
