Flighty worker tosses hair about (3,7)

I believe the answer is:

air hostess

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

'flighty worker' is the definition.
'air hostess' can be an answer for 'worker' (air hostess is a kind of worker). I'm unsure of the 'flighty' bit.

'tosses hair about' is the wordplay.
'about' indicates an anagram.
'tosses'+'hair'='tosseshair'
'tosseshair' with letters rearranged gives 'AIR-HOSTESS'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for air hostess that I've seen before include "Female flight attendant" , "Stewardess on a plane" , "Member of cabin crew" , "high flyer" , "Serving flyer" .)
