HazelNuts39,

Totally agree. You went deeper on the explanation and it was perfect. That's exactly how it works for the A330. At sometime the speed is gonna drop below M 0.53 and alpha floor will be activated. Alpha floor however will not be triggered AT cruise flight level, it will be triggered at some point during descent.

Will the same happen for the A320? The "M0.53 rule" does not appear on the manual for the A320. Knowing that, will alpha floor be activated AT cruise level for the A320?
