sure density altitude makes a difference, ever been to MEX, COS just to name a few, besides ABQ that you mentioned?

as RBower said, look at the performance manual for those airports.... the climb limit specifically... it drops, and drops FAST as the temp goes up. that is why on a lot of warm days in those airports you need E-TO. and if you have an LR in MTJ, GDL, BJX etc, you might not be able to get 50 people on cause of these limits...

also, you'll notice it takes a lot longer to get to V1 as well.

or, on a hot day in LEX, CRW with fairly short runways, you'll probably need flaps 18 if you are full/pretty full.
