I wonder why he didn't just say the inspections were done.

Since the AD required inspection within 150 flight cycles, a long time on an A380, maybe QF can be "fully compliant" without doing the work.
Since the fleet's grounding and engine inspections as per the AD(s), at least 3 suspect engines have discovered. It is reasonably clear to myself that the revelent inspections had not been performed prior to the fleet's grounding, hence Joyce's comments.

!50 cycles equates 120 days, on average, provided there are no a/c issues.
