  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.

  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.

  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.

I am really glad everyone walked away and thus I am allowed to focus on how much is pains me to see a 757 leave the skies. They are, IMHO, the best looking airliner out there.

    Was at an airport where I was able to see both operational recently, real treat. Felt like the end of an era.

      Yes, if you still have a chance to ride on a 747, take it. They will not be passenger aircraft much longer, though I think they will have a decent run in the freight world. It's an extraordinary vehicle.

Juan Brown already has a video up analyzing what is known about this accident, focusing on how the hydraulic systems work in the 757: https://youtu.be/qPk23hPooKY https://youtu.be/qPk23hPooKY
