A Certain 717 Operator

There's a rumour blowing around that the "new" 717s don't have the guts to get up off the ground above 34 deg c in CBR due to heat and elevation and they can't change the chip in the engine like they can with the older MD's due to the contract! In summer 34 is a good day!
is this true? who review's the contracts?
i thought management were supposed to review these sorts of things so that they can make top dollar out of every flight? isn't that the aim of the game?
