Crossword Genius

Attitude presented by flight attendants identifying part of plane (8)

I believe the answer is:

airscrew

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'part of plane' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'attitude presented by flight attendants' is the wordplay.
'attitude' becomes 'air' (I've seen this before).
'presented by flight attendants' becomes 'screw' (I can't explain this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'air'+'screw'='AIRSCREW'

'identifying' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for airscrew that I've seen before include "Part of plane" , "means of propulsion" , "whirling blades" , "Plane's propeller" .)
