Seems to be some confusion between Boeing And Airbus guys.
A Boeing is speedstable, thus pitch controls speed. Add thrust nose comes up, decrease thrust nose comes down, as the aircraft is trimmed for speed.
An Airbus, files very different in normal law. Add thrust, pitch stays the same thus speed increases. Decrease thrust, pitch stays the same and speed reduces.
Anyway thrust + pitch = performance in all aircraft.
You can fly the aircraft in a fixed pitch attitude and use thrust to arrest the rate of descent until touchdown.
