Well if you were legal to do it you should have been called. I would run the rotation in question through the rules auditor and see what it says.
With that being said IAs are not something that we as Pilots put in for as they are generally thought of as "grabbing" a Pilot who did not want to fly and "obligating" him to fly. Hard to claim damage from not being forced to do something.
Finally I know how you feel - there are times when I would appreciate an IA call like this month where I am only at 58 hours and a GS would be meaningless but I would consider a IA.
