That's the full package.
Don't think that guy had flown a 737 at at all.

But that isn't the trim runaway procedure, is it? Because the FTFA-fundies have been banging away at "just use the trim runaway procedure" here and elsewhere. Granted, this is a great way to handle a spurious MCAS operation, but first you have to be trained to understand MCAS as something that is not a runaway.
