The pitot tube for airspeed compared to static pressure is the only recognized way to display airspeed. Not having that, attitude and power setting using the charts on the aircraft is the alternate way to maintain stable flight for unusable airspeed. The two in the AF447 cockpit were not capable of doing this. Sometimes it pays to hire experienced pilots.
