Put in a situation disliked by fliers (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

install

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

'put' is the definition.
(installing is a kind of putting)

'in a situation disliked by fliers' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite see how this works, but
'in' is within the answer.
'a' is within the answer.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for install that I've seen before include "Place (something) in its working position" , "place in office" , "Place in position, establish" , "Load up" , "Settle" .)

I've seen this clue in The Globe and Mail.
