The last borescope inspection was July 8. We do it every 750 flight hours, or roughly every six weeks..."
That's about 'on the money'! for routine borescopes. The frequency would change but only for specific damage.... which all engines pick up from time to time.
For example: combustion chamber distress would be looked at say 250 hours intervals and the engine could stay on the wing for a couple of years.
