Nothing. This is a 22 year old aircraft that's changed hands a lot[1] and is flown hard. It's a different aircraft type too...

Every time an aircraft, let alone a Boeing, has a failure, everyone starts to point out every other situation too.

These two situations have literally nothing to do with each other.

The only thing in common is Boeing made the plane. Literally every other detail is different. One was clearly a mechanical failure in an old, heavily used aircraft and the other is likely a some kind of unexpected automation behavior.

Possibilities for Air France include but not limited to: misconfiguration, failure of sensors, programming fault, electronics failure, or pilot not expecting the automation to be in the mode it's in—which could be a training issue, pilot error, or failure of the manufacturer to document the behavior.

There was also the Chinese 737 crash. It might be just a coincidence that it's all Boeing's, it might be poor maintenance due to the pandemic, who knows.
