A bit late for unreliable airspeed training after the horse has bolted.
Australian investigators concluded that Jetstar, Qantas and Airbus all took appropriate steps in response to the 2009 A330 incidents. Qantas, for example, incorporated special training for "unreliable airspeed" procedures in its recurrent pilot training
After all, the unreliable airspeed figures have been in the Boeing 737 flight crew training manuals for the past 38 years and the RAAF have been training for this type of problem for 50 years. I would hope that Qantas have been training for such events for just as long - not just recently as reported in the press.

That's correct, QF has included training and checking in recovery from unusual attitudes on all Fleets for at least 20 years.
The recent Airbus recommendations were simply added to the training and checking already happening on the QF A330 fleet.
Jetstar just copied what QF did with the exception that Jetstar did not provide any Sim training to their pilots on the Back Up Speed Scale. Jetstar just copied the written package developed by Qantas.
