They've been on the go for 16 years now and none have flown enough to need inspected for this yet.  Not quite the same magnitude as the recent B787 issue.

I'm surprised a number of hours or cycles can be determined that no airframe has yet reached.

They probably did some computermodelling and divided the numbers they got by two.

The stress test the airframe through thousands of simulated flights.
