Edit: I now see that the NJ Transit schedule for bus 62 lists middle-of-the-night departures both at the beginning and at the end of the day (jeez!), so it's not as dire as I thought (mainly I wasn't looking forward to a 38-minute wait at Newark Penn, but it seems to be only 8 minutes). Still annoying that Fly Ready doesn't give a reason for the rejection, though.

What time does the 3am departure get you to Newark? And what time does Delta's check in desk at Newark even open? I can't imagine you need to get there any earlier than 2 hours before departure, and even 90 minutes before departure is probably fine -- most people departing Newark on Delta are not flying internationally so it's not like you need to wait in a long line of people getting documents processed manually (as you might at JFK).
