No, you don't have to.
If I'm in uniform, I always do, just in case something happens and I'm needing a jumpseat suddenly (that way they're not thinking I jumpseated, got a seat in the back, and just dodged them). Saved my ass once in EWR when they downgraded to a smaller 737 after a maintenance problem.
