first, jets are expensive, aside from bauxite they eat steel too when you use them (a lot), so do consider this too

second, as many have mentioned earlier, they get shot down easily, so if possible use jets on biggest slot and preferrably, maps with low aa

third, jets are not dive bombers, so they will not trigger air attack cut in (you still need real dive bombers)

normally, jets have their use on 5-5 or event maps (the jet assault phase will ramdomly snipe enemy ships, usually dd or cl, if you are lucky,  cv or bb (it rarely happens)) meaning less target for bombers during normal openning boming phase, thus easier to win and easier to avoid damages to ships

or when you have too much steel

if you just need extra aa on regular maps, not worth the resources
