Huh? AOA controls airspeed, even in airliners - you fly a constant AOA for the desired approach speed, with power varying to maintain glidepath: going low, you add power; high, you pull off a bit.
And sure, you can gain or lose a few feet by pushing or pulling, but soon you will have to add or remove power to compensate for the change in airspeed, and now you are destabilized.
