Even Boeing should see this.
I would expect the parked delivered aircraft will be brought back by a mix of Boeing teams and Airline staff where the airline parked them.
The other undelivered aircraft currently parked in Washington State, I would expect to be brought up to flying / deliverable state in order-book order by teams of Boeing and contractor staff and then flown out as normal by customer crews.

It makes sense for preparations to be made so that deliveries and maintenance/upgrades can be made as fast as possible once the green light is given.

Obviously though the green light has not been given - yet.
