Narrative:
Taxi via taxiway P, taxiway east, hold short runway 22, then cleared across runway 22 right to gate via taxiway a, following a carj. On ramp in front of terminal, I came to a halt behind rj with #2 engine shut down and flaps retracted. On power up, jetblast from operating engine peeled up portion of ramp. Normal breakaway thrust was used. Horizontal stabilizer leading edge sustained sheet metal damage due to FOD. Upon subsequent inspection of ramp, I was able to peel up large sections (8 X 8) with the toe of my shoe. Suspect unstable paving.
