Taking that grain of salt is strongly advised.

The original award by the DOT can be read here. (Warning, large PDF)

My memory has faded so my original post should also be read with a grain of salt; the original awards were
HP LAS x1
HP PHX x2
N7 (National Airlines) LAS x1
TW LAX x1
F9 DEN x1

Alaska didn't even apply in round 1. Wikipedia's commentary is wrong.

Also TZ applied for DCA-SFO in this round.

Then TWA filed Ch11 and the slots went back up for grabs. Alaska applied and won those to SEA. DOT order here.

Then N7 shut down and their slots were reallocated. DL won them to SLC. DOT order here.

Round 2 saw the following winners:
AS SEA x1
AS LAX x1
F9 DEN x2
HP PHX x1
UA DEN x1

DOT order here.

I refer to roundtrips and not slots in my post btw.
