Narrative:

Upon entering the airplane; maintenance was attempting to determine why the airplane had come in with numerous circuit breakers out and collared along with a prominent maintenance flag hanging from the overhead panel circuit breaker panels. The circuit breakers were all associated with the alternate flap system. It appeared the inbound crew had flown in with no alternate flap capability. There was nothing in the logbook explaining why all these circuit breakers were pulled. This resulted in a substantial delay for our departure. The airplane was not released until maintenance learned the reason behind the various circuit breakers being pulled.
