RJ Flaps poblem

When the Canadair RJ has flaps problems (partially retracted and/or no flaps) the manufacturer recommends 8000 ft of runway for landing. Very often the pilots of RJ (with partial flaps) are using 5000 ft instead and are solliciting the brakes heavily leading to a hot brake situation. Why, with a 10000 ft runway, RJ's pilots when confronted with partial flaps do not use more runway ? Thanks.
