It's fine if it's above the master cylinder but more air in the reservoir means it's more likely to get into the lines. Realistically you can't get it 100% out unless you bleed the brakes while flipping the bike in every direction. Pretty much not realistic. Could be you just have a bit too much air in there and just need a better bleed, also might work it's way out leaving the bike upright for a bit and working the brakes to get the air to the top.
There should be NO air in the system. It is completely realistic to bleed it properly and get it all out. The air will NOT 'work it's way out'. You have to burp the lever OR bleed the system to get rid of it. Brakes w/ air somewhere in the system don't fix themselves.
