This thread can go around and around about what the OP can get, will get, or should get. But I agree, the only way to know for sure is to call and politely ask.
Sure, I've come to expect ~3 hour delays as a normal contingency, and I pad my schedule accordingly, but in this case we're talking about moving the flight forward by 3 hours. The time before flights is often a variable that we can control ---> we can schedule other events/meetings.
