Sim training for pitot/static/AOA faults at major carriers?

Can any current airline jet drivers comment on how often, if ever, they are confronted with pitot/static or AOA sensor faults during a sim ride? Back in my days, I can't remember having seen much of training other than "let's take off then we see the effect and continue on to the next failure". It always seemed a bit haphazard, actual handling including bringing the airplane back down safely was never done. "now you open the dump valves and use the cabin pressure as altimeter, got it? ok, reposition, next failure!". Hmm.

What's the training philosophy on these basic failures these days? A regular occurrence? Or only going to be a regular occurrence now after the Lion Air crash?
