There’s an episode of Reply All about this where they talk about efficiency and how more diverse teams are not necessarily more efficient at the beginning but over time greatly increase efficiency because more diverse life experience results in more ideas.
I think the episode is #52: Raising the Bar
Basically, when faced with a difficult problem, a more diverse team gets better results, which makes sense because different life experiences = different knowledge bases = fewer gaps.

So it doesn’t apply to pilots then? Kinda just meetings?
