Jetman for me will always fall into the average category. To me it just isn't the hyper amazing masterpiece of a show I see people within the fandom make it out to be. The drama isn't all that great and it gets repetitive quick, characters are pretty meh which is a shame because Ako and Raita are amazingly fun to watch but get little development. Story is meh and hiccups a good bit. But it is still fun to watch because, well, Sentai. I've only ever been bored by two Sentai and even then they had some entertainment quality to them, and that's what Sentai is to me. The fun scrappy toku that I can almost always enjoy.

As for Gai, yes he could have been handled better in quite a few aspects. By today's standards he does not hold up and even back then he probably pushed a lot of buttons. But it could be argued that how he was written along with a lot of the soap operay bits is what made it catch on (there is some truth to why moms would apparently watch it with their kids, and it wasn't for the glory of Cup/Ramen Dimension). Overall though, yeah, things could have been thought through a bit more.

So yeah, Jetman isn't terrible but it isn't the great show it has a reputation as being. I would still like to buy the DVD set, but it will more than likely be one I get on sale compared to the other ones where I'll buy them almost as soon as I find them at a store (save for Zyu, Oh, and Car. I want Car, meh on Oh, and I'm pretty sure most of you know my thoughts on Zyu).
