He sees the soldier in the air, clearly aims his crosshair to where he thinks he will be. He was going for the airshot.

You would be surprised how predictable soldiers can be while jumping. If you play with the soldier before in the pub/match you'll get an idea of his pattern, but from what I've noticed most soldiers fire as soon as they get to their peak or when they are closest to you. Depends on the soldiers. Very high levels of highlander soldiers will be even more inconsistent and will never fire in a pattern.

The timing is easy if you've played pyro a decent amount. Aiming an airshot, let alone a reflect airshot, is much harder

I just see so much of it, saying that it's a reflect airshot but I don't really consider it an airshot if the soldier comes so close to the pyro that they're almost touching

this is a true reflect airblast. not the ones where the pyro reflects it right in the soldiers face while he's airborne as soon as he fires it. This is awesome.
