I am curious at what point did Unreliable Airspeed, become a memory item?

Was it a memory item before the AF447 crash?

From the documentary it does seem, that if they had just applied the unreliable airspeed procedure, as soon as they started to get nonsense information, the whole thing would have been a non-event!

I am sorry, as I am relative new to Airbus, and I do not know the history of Airbus training in the past.

Was Unreliable Airspeed a memory item at the time of the AF447 crash?
If it was, why did not the Air France crew apply that procedure?

Or was it not, if so, how was the issued dealt with during training?

It did seem that the crew was overly confident in the Airbus, saying, "good we flying Airbus" several during the time they entered the storm!

Did they rely to much on the machine, and not their own basic flying skills?
