Let's be honest here, this is a relatively low-budget TV show, with
lots of Anderson technology, it's all been made to look flashy, but
nobody's really thought this through. It was only expected to be
viewed once, not nit-picked thirty years later!

There was never any indication of how the "jump-chutes" ever connected
to the interceptors, but I think most people imagined there was some
kind of "Thunderbird 2" style tube that connected to the machine.
That said, having closely examined the models and stills, there is no
indication of a hatch over the cockpit.

My other thought was, given they fell via a chute, how the hell did
they get back out of the interceptors once they got back??
