Plane's staff has tune cut (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

aircrew

'plane's staff' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'tune cut' is the wordplay.
'tune' becomes 'air' (air can mean a piece of music).
'cut' becomes 'crew' (crew cut is a type of haircut).
'air'+'crew'='AIRCREW'

'has' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for aircrew that I've seen before include "Flight staff" , "Rice war? (anag)" , "Plane's operators" , "Pilot, co-pilot, etc" , "Regular high fliers" .)

I've seen this clue in The Daily Express.
