No, we all started using Boeing processes and procedures (BAC5009? - wasn't that the fastener installation spec?). The only reeducation I saw was to do things "the Boeing way".
As a former Rockwell/Rocketdyne guy, I used to remind the legacy Boeing folks all the time that they couldn't build anything that goes faster than the speed of sound

My Rockwell technical fellowship program disappeared with the merger.
Mention that management concept to a MAC/DAC person and they get a funny look.
