It is simple

There are those that train to pass a check and there are those that go beyond that.

Knowing your power-settings and attitudes for unreliable airspeed is something the first group doesn't bother about.

Having said so, flying a jet manually at high altitude (reduced dynamic stability) and low excess power available is not easy.

Another issue is that very few airlines train their pilots well for cases of failed sensors and/or ADC.
