Objective of female coming on board for departures (4-4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

send-offs

'departures' is the definition.

'objective of female coming on board' is the wordplay.
'objective' becomes 'end' (I've seen this before).
'female coming' becomes 'f' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should believe this answer much more).
'on' indicates putting letters inside.
'board' becomes 'ss' (I've seen this in other clues).
'end'+'of'+'f'='endoff'
'endoff' placed within 'ss' is 'SEND-OFFS'.

'for' is the link.

I've seen this clue in The Times.
