That could make sense, I agree.
But due to the position of the ISIS on the dash, it is usually the job of the guy seated on the captain's seat to assume the controls. Telling the guy who is seated on the right side to fly on the instruments facing the guy seated on the left side is not logic, especially when the comment is also from the guy seated on that left seat.
But the comments following yours are also very interesting :
2 11 58 PF: le problème c’est que j’ai plus de vario là
2 12 01 CPT: d'accord
2 12 01 PF: j'ai plus aucune indication
2 12 02 PNF: on a aucune indication qui soit valable
The vertical speed indicators when indicating something were probably not indicating a steady 10000 feet/min in descent. In relation to the roll of the aircraft, those indications were vastly varying between themselves. How were the altitude indicators ... ?
