Incorrect Airbus says "The system memorises the attitude at 50 ft,
and that attitude become the initial reference for pitch attitude control. As the aircraft descends through 30 ft,
the system begins to reduce the pitch attitude, reducing it to 2º nose down over a period of 8 seconds."
The INTIAL REFERANCE is not the 0º pitch attitude on the PFD, it is the attitude at 50’.

Airbus references which agree with the above include the A320 instructor manual, A320 FCTM , and the A319/A320/A321 Flight deck and systems briefing for pilots.
This is exactly the same with your aircraft and manuals at Gulf Air. Feel free to speak to one of your airbus training captains for further clarification.
