If wages offered are sufficient then workers will move from their existing employment, though the level of pay will need to reflect the temporary nature of the work.
The pinch points would be with the high-specialisation jobs.
If Boeing are in a regulatory position to get the MAX fleet mobilised then I do not think the high level of wage they might need to offer will be any barrier to them.
OK, the idea that aircraft that have been sitting idle for 7-10 months get their final prep before EIS by employees, though licensed, have who knows what for experience is unsettling to me.
