Interesting concept. Not one I've encountered before. 
Perhaps the fact that much of Amazon's operation is still actively trading during this crisis. Is why investors haven't sold out of the stock to such a degree. Whereas with many of the world's airlines grounding their fleet. With no indication as to when if ever they'll be fully operational again. That investors consider Boeings future order book and pipeline to be under threat. As a consequence marking the share price down. 
A diversified and concentrated portfolio of 20-30 quality stocks. Is better than 5. As will enable coverage across a broad range of sectors. Not for the faint hearted though. As there's always the possibilty of a company crashing to earth. However financially strong it may appear. 

Trump has repeatedly said he'd 'take care of Boeing'. This company is so old and valued that I don't think America would let it go if it got into trouble. Of course, money trumps everything (no pun intended lol) and I could be wrong.

Doesn't make it a good investment though. Yes it supplies the US with aircraft. Boeings current order book is over 5,000 aircraft currently. How many of these orders are going to cancelled due to the current crisis? 
The UK Government will (part) nationalise British Airways if neccessary.  Aircraft are important parts of modern life. 

Yes airlines are vital, which makes them the best stocks to invest in now. The US government seems to look after its airlines more than the UK (they got a big bail out in the US), so i'd maybe give easy jet a miss.
4 I'd go for are:
Delta
United Continental
Boeing 
Southwest 

Some are going to go bust or at least downsize. Too much capacity in the short term. 

i'd argue the opposite. there will be increased demand after the virus as people will want to book holidays after being under lock down for so long. some airlines may struggle to keep up with the demand... it's all speculative though.

Another fine mess for Boeing is their KC46 for the USAF, fault after fault and the latest is fuel leaks. They do not deserve bailing out.

Banks are more vital so have a look at how their shareholders were diluted when they were bailed out a decade ago.

When are travel international restrictions going to be lifted?
