Narrative:

During my interior inspection I noticed several irregularities with circuit breaker panel #2. There were circuit breakers that were not labeled and there were labels where there were no circuit breakers. More specifically; cbp-xx xy and xz had circuit breakers but were missing labels; and cbp-xx xa was labeled 'FMS 2' but did not have a circuit breaker present. Maintenance was already at the aircraft dealing with another issue and I asked them to look into it. The mechanic shrugged it off stating that he 'didn't know' and 'that's just how some airplanes are'. I informed the mechanic that we would not be departing until the labeling discrepancy was remedied. After an extensive back and forth with the mechanic he produced new cbp (circuit breaker panel) labeling strips that appeared to match the circuit breaker configuration for the associated rows. The mechanic installed the new labels without any real confirmation that the circuit breakers were properly labeled. Unable to positively verify that the circuit breakers matched their new labels ourselves; we had to take the mechanic's word for it.our line maintenance in ZZZ seem blissfully unaware that not all of our aircraft have the same circuit breaker configuration. Our maintenance department needs to pay more attention to detail; specifically when on-boarding an aircraft from another operator. There needs to be an audit done on our entire fleet to make sure that circuit breakers are properly labeled and that the location correctly corresponds to the procedures within our QRH (quick reference handbook) and MEL (minimum equipment list). There needs to be swift action taken to correct this attitude as unfortunately it is coming at the price of safety.
