Narrative:

Aircraft was possibly damaged when jetway (stairs) were rolled against the aircraft. The crew was informed on oct/sun/04. The ground crew said nothing to the crew when the alleged event happened. The crew did not notice anything unusual during the deplaning process, or the preflight inspection. Corrective actions: the ramp crew should immediately inform the captain of anything which effects the aircraft and file a written report to the company promptly.
