I would agree with that to a point. If it's IFR conditions and you're
trying to get in to land, you might have to hold as ATC tries to work you
into the approach. As you hold, ATC will be contacting the military
aircraft in the MOA to try and deconflict to get you IFR seperation. You
will hold outside the MOA until ATC can work that.


What do you base that on?



I am not an ATC controller, but most military talks on UHF on their
primary radio and VHF by exception. Some jets don't even have VHF. The
controller might not be simulcasting his transmissions to the military
pilots on VHF, that's probably why you're not hearing them. But I can
promise you, ATC is working with them.


What puts you in a position to make that promise?
