A decrese of 30knots/sec? Only? Not to include an increase of the same value?

Will someone say if the flying pilots are made aware of the urgency of the monitoring process post 30knot/sec. sensed? Are they "in the loop"? Or do they have to wait for the 'generic' cavalry charge and "MASTER CAUTION" without elucidation from the panel? My sinking feeling is that they are not made aware, that they have to await, in ignorance, the 'decision" of the Computer. No "Speeds" notation (verbal) exists until eleven seconds after a/p LOSS.

Did the AutoPilot quit at start of monitoring, and, ten seconds after its loss, the pilots were 'told'? Sounds impossible.
