I would judge from the chart MFS posted that this particular engine is not rated to maintain SL thrust up to any substantial aititude. I'm sure such rating methods must exist, but place an operator at at relative disadvantage at, say, DEN or MEX.

An engine maintaining SL thrust would compress the near-vertical lines much closer together, meaning the effect of airfield altitude is less.
