What do you want him to do when the bank is at 8 deg the attitude is 3 deg under a normal cruise attitude the altitude is 400 feet below the assigned FL and all of it under AP control ?

At the first warning, which is for AP disc, the guy grab the stick and follow the up FD command which is still visible for 3 seconds after that disconnection.

Never in that short period he can analyze that the problem is an unreliable airspeed indication. For the 30 previous known events, how many have called "UNRELIABLE SPEED" and applied the memory items ?

The initial action is necessary, what came after was not, the PF did not focus on the attitude and let the attitude to rise to 11 deg at a cruising altitude 10 seconds after AP.
The PM gave valuable indications but did not sufficiently prioritize the monitoring of the PF performance ... ECAM was calling him ...
