It's not but it should.

Nice cover forgetting to mention that the manual trim wouldn't move at all - at which point what can you do? Nose is trimmed basically full down, and in a battle between stab and elevator, the stab always wins.
Like it or not Boeing built a POS with the max. A plane with "surprise lawn dart mode" which gives you ten seconds to recover or die.
