One way of dealing with the problem is that Boeing is sayig the 737MAX us not suitable for High/Hot airports. This is a major restriction on the design.

Addis Ababa, for instance, is no longer a suitable airport for this aircraft.

I believe there is more than a high -hot- humid -runway length problem involved.

The 737s that crashed developed airplane problems while in flight and not in the process of landing or taking off. - Tom

Heck, Denver is considered not suitable for the 737 Max. When our temp is 90°, the density altitude here usually hits well above 10,000 feet.
