Hi Jose, To my perception na.omit is different from a pairwise deletion. With na.omit, you omit totally that case if there is a missing value for one of the variable you consider in the model. In the pairwise deletion, the case with some missing value is kept and values that are not missing are used in the statistics calculations.
However, I agree that pairwise deletion is not good practice (so it would be surprising that it is the default in lm !!). I just when to be able to recalculate the statistics given in this thesis.
