You can't hope or will the airplane to fly. If it's not flying it needs less AOA. Period.
You can't say "I don't like the nose that low'. If the wing needs AOA reducing AOA is the driving force, not some desire for a 'normal' pitch attitude.
Did loss of airspeed in the sim. During recovery we had 10 degrees nose low at max power(actually restricted to 75% N1 due to EEC failure resulting from loss on data input!). CKA said "don't put the nose that low." Silly boy, AOA gauge demanded it. Pitch attitude was being driven by the AOA gauge.
If you've done acro or fighter flying you've probably seen amazingly slow airspeeds. Less than 1G, and low AOA, is what allows that. I've seen the airspeed indicator pegged against the stop (<60 kts), when the actual stall speed was 120+ kts, without being stalled. But not for long.
