These days we train operators!
They get airborne with a minor sensor fault and instead of identfying the nature of the failure unverstandig it and flying the aircraft (pitch/power) they operate as usual A/P On, LNAV, flaps up turning HDG bugs talking to ATC etc.
AFAIK checklists were introduced to standardise training, and avoid risky seat-of-the-pants flying. Pitch and power is rarely part of standard flying. Unfortunately those checklists don't cover multiple simultaneous warnings, let alone the underlying AOA faults. Ironically, a very short AOA disagree checklist would have helped a lot, but this output was not even included as standard on the flight display. Instead the pilots had to fall back on several half-baked checklists, emergency ADs, and intuitive diagnosis.
