Just over a year ago I ferried a 320 NEO back to our maintenance base after it had experienced engine vibration. The maintenance crew that swapped the engine was on board with me. They told me that in the previous 18 months on four NEOs they had swapped 27 engines, so engines lasted around 3 MONTHS before parts needed to be replaced. Our 5th NEO was parked without engines due to lack of spare engines. There is plenty of evidence that they started hanging the engines on wings before they were fully baked.
