Crossword Genius

For example, swift fighter managed time (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

migrant

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

'for example swift' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this definition defines the answer.

'fighter managed time' is the wordplay.
'fighter' becomes 'mig' (fighter jet produced by Russian company MiG).
'managed' becomes 'ran' (I've seen this in another clue).
'time' becomes 't' (abbreviation).
'mig'+'ran'+'t'='MIGRANT'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for migrant that I've seen before include "One travelling to find work" , "Animal moving with the seasons" , "Person who has moved residence to another place" , "Traveller" , "Person moving abroad" .)

I've seen this clue in The Daily Mail.
