No, of course in this instance (and all swept wing airliner take offs bar the 767 under certain circumstances I believe????) slats would already be extended. My point was, if the nose wouldn't go down through all the pushing and thrust reduction then I would consider extending flaps further as there effect is to lower the nose. I appreciate it also lowers the Alpha at which stall happens but if the nose won't go down it's something I'd try - at least to this day - with further thought, study and discussion, in the future I may not! It'd probably be as fruitless as rolling it to get the nose to drop at this height.
