would have save the day when all the "reliable" airspeed indication are gone?

Putting aside the case of multiple failures, if the problem is just a routine loss of pitot statics, surely the time honoured flight with unreliable airspeed approach (ie pitch plus thrust for the configuration) would be more appropriate ? A GPS might help as well, but appears to be rather optional ?
