I am asking as a relatively inexperienced FO, with airspeed unreliable being an item in my next simulator check in a couple of weeks.
15° up and TO thrust are what you are going to fly (approximately) until you reduce to climb thrust at 1,500ft. That is a relatively busy period, especially if something like an ASI has gone wrong and the associated 'startle factor'. Best stick to that rather than fiddle with thrust and attitude changes close to the ground and you might find during that time that you have two ASIs that agree. If not, I would say that above 1,500ft you go for you flaps thrust/attitude settings. Don't try to do too much close to the ground, just fly the aeroplane.
