Misleading thread title

Mods please retitle to "United fined $12,000 for improper BTS reporting"
Let me help you with that, this is from the first sentance in the link above:
"Federal officials penalized United Airlines $12,000 for reporting that four of its May flights violated new tarmac-delay rules,"
It was probably hard to see after seeing the same thing in the articles' headline.
