Narrative:
After takeoff from ZZZ; while the captain was performing the after takeoff checklist; I noticed the right bleed air indicator showing 4 psi. The left indicator was deferred inoperative; which required the right indicator to work. We contacted both dispatch and maintenance control to determine if we should continue or return to ZZZ. While talking to maintenance control during the climb we noticed the cabin pressure above the normal climb schedule; at 7500 cabin pressure with a 750 FPM climb rate when the cabin pressure should have been at 6000 ft. We informed maintenance control and switched both packs to high per flight manual and the cabin pressure returned to normal. We looked over the circuit breaker panel to make sure everything was normal; when we noticed that the circuit breakers for the #2 reverser were collared even though the #1 reverser was deferred inoperative. We talked to maintenance control dispatch and determined that destination WX and runway conditions allowed us to make a no reverser landing without any problems. We performed an uneventful landing and taxi at destination.
Original NASA ASRS Text
Title: A B737-300 PILOT REPORTS OF INADEQUATE MAINT AFTER NOTICING IN-FLIGHT THE #1 ENGINE REVERSER DEFERRED INOP; BUT THE CIRCUIT BREAKER FOR # 2 ENG WAS COLLARED. CABIN PRESSURE INDICATION DEFERRAL ALSO AN ISSUE.
Narrative: AFTER TKOF FROM ZZZ; WHILE THE CAPT WAS PERFORMING THE AFTER TKOF CHKLIST; I NOTICED THE R BLEED AIR INDICATOR SHOWING 4 PSI. THE L INDICATOR WAS DEFERRED INOP; WHICH REQUIRED THE R INDICATOR TO WORK. WE CONTACTED BOTH DISPATCH AND MAINT CTL TO DETERMINE IF WE SHOULD CONTINUE OR RETURN TO ZZZ. WHILE TALKING TO MAINT CTL DURING THE CLB WE NOTICED THE CABIN PRESSURE ABOVE THE NORMAL CLB SCHEDULE; AT 7500 CABIN PRESSURE WITH A 750 FPM CLB RATE WHEN THE CABIN PRESSURE SHOULD HAVE BEEN AT 6000 FT. WE INFORMED MAINT CTL AND SWITCHED BOTH PACKS TO HIGH PER FLT MANUAL AND THE CABIN PRESSURE RETURNED TO NORMAL. WE LOOKED OVER THE CIRCUIT BREAKER PANEL TO MAKE SURE EVERYTHING WAS NORMAL; WHEN WE NOTICED THAT THE CIRCUIT BREAKERS FOR THE #2 REVERSER WERE COLLARED EVEN THOUGH THE #1 REVERSER WAS DEFERRED INOP. WE TALKED TO MAINT CTL DISPATCH AND DETERMINED THAT DEST WX AND RWY CONDITIONS ALLOWED US TO MAKE A NO REVERSER LNDG WITHOUT ANY PROBS. WE PERFORMED AN UNEVENTFUL LNDG AND TAXI AT DEST.
