Not necessarily true. You have to call Crew Tracking to tell them that you have a golden day, when they try to reroute you. Then they'll work to not reroute you into golden days. It's worked for me. Crew Tracking has no idea of your schedule, other than the rotation you are on.
from the Scheduling Handbook:
Crew Scheduling will make every reasonable effort to resolve any conflict between a reroute and a pilot’s scheduled vacation or other hard non-fly day (e.g., MLOA, golden X day, legal duty, PD, APD) provided the pilot notifies Crew Scheduling of the conflict. Crew Tracking is not aware of a pilot’s future schedule when a reroute is created.
