I always let the lead F/A know I'm a pilot and my seat assignment, especially if I'm not travelling in uniform. One of the things they do during boarding is try to identify Able Bodied Passengers (ABPs). If you let them know you're a trained ABP, they know you're someone they can rely on in an emergency situation.
