Quoting One Outsider:-
"Then you don't know very far. The 'first duty' of any crew is to fly the aircraft. Any other actions are secondary and are to be performed when not interfering with flying the aircraft."
I didn't say they should or would stop flying the aircraft, One Outsider. That's why there are two of them! But it is the duty of the PNF to read off the ECAM messages, one by one, cancelling each once the PF has absorbed it and then moving on to quote the next.

There's a video here that shows that procedure being carried out. Only a 'sterilised' mockup in the simulator, but it will give you the idea.......


"Being a mere amateur you are perhaps excused, but with the amount of nonsense already posted there is no need to add more."
I hope (without much hope) that you will now withdraw the word 'nonsense' .........
