Graceful degradation?

I did not see any recommendations on changes by Airbus so that the pilots get a heads up before they are handed the plane.
1- Guys, getting inconsistent Airspeed indications here.
2- AP will drop out, you are heading for Law 2B
3- Set pitch and thrust
4- See you on the other side.

Not too much to ask surely?
Training for 'startle' sure, but why not remove as much as you can?
