Is Second Officer time worth anything?
About $110 - $150k pa!
Why bother jumping through all the hoops just to move offshore for an F/O slot?? Promotion at QF should be starting up to the point that by the time you have the hours for say, Emirates, you may be close to a promotion anyway.
Mind you, if you go in to it with the idea that it's only to get some jet time to move on, you may find you don't get the job in the first place! They can smell that sort of thing.
