Raw rice to be cooked for jumbo's handlers? (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

aircrew

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

'jumbo's handlers?' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this definition defines the answer.

'raw rice to be cooked' is the wordplay.
'to be cooked' indicates an anagram.
'raw'+'rice'='rawrice'
'rawrice' anagrammed gives 'AIRCREW'.

'for' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for aircrew that I've seen before include "flyers" , "Flight staff" , "Craft workers" , "Pilot and his team" , "Staff manning a plane" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
