An air carrier B757-200 pilot advised that new and old quick reference checklist publications are on board the fleet in any one of three possible configurations: 1. Old. 2. New. 3. Both. He further reported that training on the new; more comprehensive; 'book' version is not complete. The result is significant cockpit confusion and the need to brief operations based on what resources are available on a given aircraft. Also of concern was the insubstantial nature of the cardstock used on their new 'normal' checklists; noting that about half he has used are already torn after only a week in service.

Narrative:
Recently I flew 3 different 757-200 airplanes on a two day sequence. The first had the new quick reference 'book;' the second had the old quick reference 'hard card' and the 3rd had 'both' the new book and the old hard card in place in the same plane. We have yet to be completely trained with the new quick reference books and now we find them in a mixed bag in the planes. So; each departure brief is different; SOP out the window.on a different subject; in the first week of their use; about half of the new [normal] checklist cards I've seen are ripped. We went to a lighter material and they aren't holding up at all.
