The front open sound in BAD has gradually opened in standard pronunciation, making it closer to cardinal [a]. The symbol /æ/ has the disadvantage of appearing to be a diphthong to new learners of English.
In a chart with /ɛː/, it can be highly confusing for learners to also use symbol /ɜː/, though there is no difference in the sound.
