Narrative:
The company requires compliance with a checklist without furnishing pilots expanded procedures after start. Requires setting flaps without weight and balance numbers. Callback conversation with reporter revealed the following information: reporter stated that on the date of the checklist transition flight crews at his crew base had no expanded checklist procedures explaining how to accomplish the new checklist items. As a result the pilots operated under the old checklists and checklist procedures that they had worked the day before. His air carrier told those pilots to submit written reports.
