notadog, what I got from his post was he'd push forward, reduce power, the nose should (may?) have dropped, but he'd be dead anyway due to running out of altitude while trying to recover, as the mishap crew did.
Farrell, what I think he's getting as is pitch reduction by power reduction, since there appears to be a consensus that any pilot in that situation will already be pushing forward on the yoke to get as much pitch authority as is available.
I may be reading something into this that he didn't mean.
As noted before, reducing power at that time and place in the take off might also contribute to a losing airspeed, so you're in a damned if you do, damned if you don't situation, still falling ...
(I am not sure what pitch trim augmentation or assist might be available in such a situation, and his post didn't seem to address it).
