More details to this question:
I am a military veteran 20+ years as an aviation electrician. I have been working for a civilian company for over 6 years as a step up supervisor. I keep applying for the permanent supervisor positions and keep watching other get hired even though I am more qualified. They do not have a degree. I have been working at the refinery longer than most for the different positions. Some of the positions if I am the only one that applies they do not hire anyone from in the company. How can they be allowed to keep doing this.

Ordinarily, a company can choose who they want to promote even if the person is not as qualified as you. However, if the company is not promoting you because of your age, or because of your military service, or some other illegal classification, then you would have a claim you can file against them. You should meet with an attorney to explore more details in your case.
