2. Southwest Airlines
3. GM

and unsuccessful companies like:
1. Gateway
2. UAL
3. Ford

it's amazing that Ford actually outlasted GM, but both companies are screwed. Is there any recovering from this?

I don't know why your business school would sing the praises of GM, but they top just about every example of what NOT to do in a company. GM is not a well run company.
