Narrative:
We parked at gate in phl. We completed the after landing checklist, the parking brake was left on. I completed resetting the computers for the next flight. The jetway was brought up to the acert and passenger started to deplane. I got up to use the restroom. When I entered the restroom the captain received the chocks in signal and released the brakes. The flight attention banged on the restroom door to aircraft me that the jetway was moving. I came out of the door and saw the jet way up against the open door. The captain had by then reengaged the parking brake. I never felt the aircraft moving but it was apparent from the wheel tracks that it had moved back approximately 4 ft. The gate agent rtned to the jetway and tried to raise the hood away from the aircraft. It was wedged in the door and the hood movement started to bend the top of the door. I shouted for the agent to stop the jetway. The aircraft was subsequent towed forward and the jetway removed. It was not apparent to me whether the damage to the door was caused by the aircraft movement or the attempt to get the jetway off. Supplemental information from acn 535553: after approximately 5 mins, I received the 'chocks in' signal from a ground personnel. I released parking brake. Aircraft slid and the main cabin attendant door was up against jetway by the time I reset the parking brake. Gate agent came back down to remove canopy of jetway and reset jetway. Upon doing so, jetway pulled back skin of door, damaging the door a little bit. Aircraft was repositioned and passenger continued deplaning.
