It's basic to conventional airplane dynamics, ......
Pitch controls airspeed.
Power controls altitude.
I DON'T BELIEVE THIS..
Are you serious?...
We are talking about jets here, it's the other way 'round
(And that makes it adamantly clear: you never flew one)
Its not "black and white", golfyankeesierra, it really depends on the circumstances: for example, when you're on an "open climb" in your A330 (at a fixed power), its pitch/attitude that controls your speed. The same for an open descent.
After more than 1600 posts here, where the main preoccupation was to understand why the AF447 PF didn't lower the nose of its A330 to reduce AoA and therefore to increase "speed", it seems pretty clear that not always "power" is enough to regain speed...
