I do respectfully disagree. The pitch change produces a change in flight path. Once stabilized on the new flight path, lift equals weight and the AoA is the same as it was before, hence the change in pitch equals the change in flight path angle FPA. Without a change of thrust or drag, the change of linear acceleration along the flight path is given by a = g * delta FPA = g * delta pitch (angles in radians).
