What leap of logic makes you see that as a threat?
"If it becomes inconvenient and expensive for me to do business here I'll do it elsewhere where it's easier and cheaper."
That's not a threat, that's standard business practice.
What if they do leave... would you describe that as an attack?

Mate, Airbus has fuck all to do with business practice.
Airbus is an old political agreement between Britain and France.
Do you really think they make wings in Britain and then fly them over at great expense to the assembly line in France because it is good business practice?

And yet they still manage to be competitive against Boeing.

Airbus has a vastly more complicated history than that.
And those old agreements are completely irrelevant and out of date, much like 80% of the leaver's arguments. If it's not cost effective to transport parts between the two countries before Brexit, how cost effective do you think it's likely to be afterwards?
If it turns out that Airbus do leave the country after all, will it still have been a threat, or will it turn out to have been a warning of exactly what they planned to do all along?
