I'm not sure rebranding the regional business flights to PP in APAC makes much sense compared to the rebranding TATL. Not including lounge access for a premium seat booking would likely command lower fares for those originating in Japan. A connecting itinerary from the US would either be mixed cabin or premium plus all the way through which will probably result in lower fares and potentially revenue compared to a business class through-fare.
In terms of expectations, "Business" class is not all lie-flat in APAC when looking at the established legacy carriers but is for TATL.
On the CPU topic, really wish they allowed CPUs systemwide on non-Polaris marketed routes like the other US3 including Delta/American/Alaska.
