That would make sense if not everyone was using comparators like Google Flights and SkyScanner. It doesn't make any sense in the real world.

Also: flight alerts and price tracking are a thing too.

I don’t know anyone that’s seen a cheap flight for sale and decided to wait for the price to go up.

There are less price sensitive customers, but even the most price sensitive people don’t ask United if they could please charge them a bit more than the listed price.
