  1. ; ; (, ACM SIGMETRICS Performance Evaluation Review)
    Priority queues are well understood in queueing theory. However, they are somewhat restrictive in that the low-priority customers suffer far greater waiting times than the highpriority customers. In this short paper, we introduce a novel generalization of a two-class priority queue, which we call Hybrid. We prove that Hybrid has a much broader achievability region than strict priority, allowing for a much greater range of waiting time pairs. We demonstrate settings where this new flexibility can increase the revenue obtained by a service system (like airport TSA) selling priority.
