Default use HEAVY when talking to ARTCC or not

It it mandatory to use "HEAVY" when talking to the center controllers? I ask because there was a British Airways 747 on Denver Center freq. and he was't referred to as HEAVY, nor did he say it himself. Then two days ago I jumpseat on a FedEx MD-10 and the pilot used HEAVY the entire trip. Perhaps it's an international/domestic carrier thing?
