Not enough information to answer this since there are so many more variables.
Are the Jr. pilots in the same bucket as you?
Do the Jr. pilots have adequate 30/168 look-back to fly the 2 day trip?
Will the trip give the jr pilot 60 flight duty period hours in the previous 168 hours?
As for recourse, yes you do. Something similar to this happened to me and I called CS and pointed out their error. They had to redo 100% of their assignments and SCs for that day and the senior pilot who was in a lower bucket than me got the trip as they deserved. I called ALPA after the fact and they told me I'd have been eligible for assignment pay if I'd flown the trip.
