Online means they are able to fix minor career bugs day by day without needing to do a full test and release cycle of a patch.
It also means that your careers are partially linked with the careers of other players.
In the squadron room, you can see other pilots and their squadron's status, you can compare how well you lead your squadron to theirs.
Also being online works as an anti-cheating measure, because there is a comparison of scores etc for those who care about that.
Offline you can still play:
-single missions
-quick mission generator
-the 3 static campaigns
It's only career and multiplayer you need be online for.
Note if you lose your connection in a career mission, you don't lose progress. It gives you a warning and you can still go and land etc and it will update when your connection comes back.
