As nurses go for surgeons, are these chaps similarly spoilt? (6)
I believe the answer is:
pilots
'as nurses go for surgeons' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this defines the answer.
'these chaps similarly spoilt?' is the wordplay.
'spoilt' can be anagrammed to 'PILOTS'.
However, I'm not clear how this is indicated.
'are' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for pilots that I've seen before include "They fly aircraft and guide ships into harbour" , "Flies" , "Fliers or guides" , "They guide ships in and out of harbours" , "They are licensed to fly aircraft" .)
