I'm not sure how not wearing one helps the shirt last another day - please enlighten.

In case of an attack on the cockpit, the tie becomes a handy tool to whip a pilot's head about like a chihuahua on a leash. It's really not that complicated.
It's more comfortable off, as well. I don't know about you, but I generally like comfortable.

Geez, really? Worried about someone yanking yer tie and don't like clip ons? Take a tie,
tie it like you would wear it,
where it meets the back of your neck cut it in half,
tack it back together with two stitches of light cotton thread,
watch the surprised look on the face of the person who grabs it when it comes off in their hand.

When you've been through FFDO training you realize just how vulnerable you are strapped to that chair. A tie is just another advantage a terrorist has in a cockpit takeover scenario. (Or so I'm told).
And Jughead, the shirt lasts another day because the collar will stay cleaner. Did you really need me to enlighten you on that?
