I'm not quite sure what you wanted me to take from that. First off, it's the best case where there's a high competition. I mean it is a YouTube video and it starts by stating how people spend their entire lives figuring out pricing, so of course it's not going to talk about everything they do in the fine grained nuance. Second, there's another name for price matching: collusion. It's usually indicative of a unfair market and he goes on a tangent for this. Then the next section he called the previous section "micro". Clearly he's not talking about dynamic pricing on a sub day interval.

It was a nice video and I learned some things but I'm not sure how its contents are relevant to the conversation. Doesn't prove or disprove anything. Well... it does demonstrate some ways airlines are anti-competitive but that's not what's being talked about here
