Narrative:
I was admiring a boeing 777-300ER at sfo. I took a picture and then notice something out of safety concern after. I see a crj-200 aircraft in the ramp taxi area. The safety concern is the 777-300ER is much longer than the regular wide-body aircraft 777-200 and 787-8 and having an aircraft behind the 777-300ER might be too close of proximity. Also; often cargo freight are usually placed at the aft area of aircraft due to the limited amount of space on the right side of aircraft parked at this specific gate; having an aircraft on the ramp taxi area may cause potential aircraft damage; or injury to ramp service employee. Another safety concern is often when aircraft are on this particular ramp taxi line; the aircraft tail is pointing towards another gate and a vehicle service road. I have a few times got jet blast because the aircraft was beginning to taxi to alpha taxiway.
