Narrative:
After engine start, advanced throttle to taxi out of ramp area, N1 advanced less than 3 when the left engine compressor stalled, bleeds were checked and anti-icing, when the left engine was advanced it stalled again. Maintenance was called on the radio for additional information, they told us to taxi out and change the direction of the aircraft into the wind and try again. Following maintenance instructions, the engine compressor stalled again. We then shut the engine down and taxied back to the gate. The left engine compressor stall was placed in the E-6 log. Maintenance found after an inspection of the left engine, foreign object damage to 4 blades at early assessment. Aircraft placed OTS, crew later dead headed. What ever happened to the visual inspection of engines from the cabin doors where able? Maybe we might have seen the damage before leaving the gate. The S80 has a very light walkaround.
